Résumé

Albert Jack gathers together all the strangest, sickest, funniest and most unforgettable urban legends and recounts them with his usual deadpan humour.   More than just a collection of urban legends, this is also a detective story.   Exploring the real events behind conspiracy theories, the exaggerations of history and the assumptions of old wives' tales (and self-help books amongst many, many other things, Albert Jack shows us that the truth can definitely be stranger than fiction.  Albert Jack has become something of a publishing phenomenon, clocking up hundreds of thousands of sales with his series of bestselling adventures tracing the fantastic stories behind everyday phrases (Red Herrings and White Elephants), the world's great mysteries (Loch Ness Monsters and Raining Frogs), pub names (The Old Dog and Duck) food history (What Caesar did for My Salad) and nursery rhymes (Pop Goes the Weasel).
